Dear fellow EU citizen,
I am outraged. Yesterday, thousands of EU citizens were denied their votes in the European Elections in the UK.
We won't know exactly how many people were denied across the UK, but the hashtag #DeniedMyVote was used by over 100,000 people on Twitter, which suggests a mass failure by the Electoral Commission, the Government and local Councils.
Just yesterday, over 3,500 people downloaded our template to complain to the Electoral Commission.
If you were denied your vote, or if you know someone who was affected, we advise you to do the following:
1 Complain to the Electoral Commission
Go to https://www.the3million.org.uk/deniedmyvote to download our complaint template
2 Tell us your story as we are gathering evidence using this secure Google form:

3 Support the3million financialy so we can take the fight to the politicians and the court. Preferably by becoming a monthly donor but you can also make a one-off donation on our gofundme page.
European regards,
Nicolas
